My spine broke on my drive and only had it since august on a 3k hobie outback. I rinse it off, dry it and treat it like a baby after every outing. Luckily the spine about $400 part was under warranty. Took my drive to the dealer because the drive was a little too loose and the bearings were showing a little bit. They made it worse by tightening it too much and then the drive started grinding really loud and the bearings popped out even more. 

Get ready for a yard sale

Isn’t Santa Cruz salmon fishing already open 8 miles damn good luck

Hey, kind of necroing this thread but I wanted to follow up on some recommendations here as I'm looking for a new rod.  My go to has been a heavy or medium heavy (I forget) Ugly Stik Tiger Elite for a while, and it works just fine for me, but I would like to go lighter on my next rod. 

Looking at the Shimano Trevala 7' ML Eddie mentions, and my main question is on the lure weight rating.   It only goes up to 4 3/4 oz, and I often fish more weight.  I tend to be careful with rods I cast with for shore fishing an not exceed the lure rating as I don't want to mess them up, but I don't know how much that matters with a jigging rod as I have only used heavier ones. 

Would that ML handle 8oz or 10oz of lead vertical jigging despite being rated a lot lower?  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I would go with a medium trevala if you want to go a little heavier. I have both the light and medium and if I am going 8 oz or more I am using the medium rod. The light will work but it will bend a lot.

Registered let’s goooo!

Congrats nice fish
